But already I notice one slg-jnlllcant thing. All three parties i in Ontario are competing on the basis of who can promise the i best hospital insurance system. I see in the payers here in Ontario a lot of talk of Saskatchewan's hospital insurance j plan, but so far not even a men-: lion of B.C.'s somewhat similar i plan. 1 IT IS no secret that the Liberal rs Wat Cleaning Press-while-you-wait 3f,'::iaur- "t 5 t5le 7or:r'5 a Liberals who use the tag "socialists" on every possible occasion to describe their antagonists, because they know there is a hangover of distaste for the term. Yet all the time the Conservatives are using the term socialism as a bogeyman they themselves are adopting more and more socialism in practice. OVER AND over again I heard Mr. Churchill argue that his government and not Labor i was the one which adopted the i principle of the welfare state.

Lelcw. Mall H now before you foro,tl Ketchikan Mail Delivery THE Ketchikan Chronicle hopes that the committee of three due there next week to survey the possibilities of mail delivery in the town "will do a scientific and objective job of their assignment instead of stool-sitting', political study as was done by the Ken-tuckian (who claimed to be a postal inspector) here two years ago." The Kentuckian hit town says the Chronicle in an optimistic mood, saying there was no reason why there couldn't and shouldn't he free delivery in town once a day as there is in the states. But after he left he was satisfied to recommend some drop boxes here and there around town and possibly a sub-post office. He apparetnly encounttered some opposition from within the local post office and perhaps from adjoining business houses that like to see the foot traf ic past their door to the post office. This time, it appears, conditions will be changed. There is no money to build a bigger post office at Ketchikan or even to buy the 1,500 to 2,000 more boxes that will be needed in a couple or three years. Nor would there be a place to put them if the boxes could be purchased. HERE IN Toronto I pick up the newspaper and read, in comment on the British election that "socialism is everywhere on the wane." That is a remarkable statement in view of tiie fact th.it more votes have been ca.st for socialism than ever befoie; also that the victorious Conservative party only emerged victorious IN VANCOUVEK use an AosTin u mm k CONTEST CLOSES NOV. 30th ?r . . .world was the defeat in Britain of the Socialist regime.

It might be a good idea, if you want to nd your financial prob- lems not to purchase anything you can't buy for cash. houses that once opposed the delivery now realize that newcomers will want it and, if it is not available in Ketchikan, perhaps it will be available in Wacker, and some of them will move out there instead of into the First city. So everyone is pitching in to make an attractive community, with better schools and streets .and housing, and free mail delivery may be one of the improvements without j Officially. Montreal"s popula- , j tion is slightly in excess of a mil- j j l'on. There's one thing noticed t about that city. It is what the ' people do with winter. They have always had the knack of playing : with it or finding some sort of i jntertainmcnt just because it is ' winter, instead of lamenting the ; fcason until waiting for summer. ' Let's see now!

The Chronicle hopes that, in the interests of progress, everyone will give mail delivery a fair hearing and that any straw vote will be thorough and representative. "Alaskans are paying our share and move of U. S. taxes and it would save some shoe leather and some travelling expense, as well as a lot of time, to have mail delivered once a day, at least in the residential district. "To say that this would make it easier to order goods by mail is rater fatuous, especially when another mail order house could come here if the town became large enough. Safeway stores already, has tried to buy a downtown location, we are reliably informed. Gradually the town will see .new-ways of doing business.
